Product Description

The virtual definition of a "transitional album," the Cure's 1984 outing, THE TOP, was created during a turbulent time in the band's history, during which the group nearly disintegrated, and Smith was occupying himself by filling in as guitarist for Siouxsie & the Banshees (see their album HYAENA). THE TOP exemplifies Smith's restlessness, as fierce rock ("Shake Dog Shake," "Give Me It") mixes with PORNOGRAPHY-like gloom ("Wailing Wall") and quirky pop ("Birdmad Girl," "The Caterpillar"), the latter of which the Cure would explore further on THE HEAD ON THE DOOR and KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME. ...See Full Description

The Top
This used to be the Cure's most unpopular album, but after the test of time with the 2006 re-released deluxe edition, people are now wondering why they used to dislike it so much.

Yes, we are talking about The Top!
This was the first Cure�s lp I have ever heard and the fist one I have ever loved, so kindly be advised that your are going to read a brief comment which is absolutely partial and biased.

bananafishbones are cool
The Cure are the greatest band ever and all other bands suck compared to them. They should be in the Rock and Roll HOF and if they're not, the R&R HOF is STUPID! This digitally remastered recording is perfect and I love it.

Underrated & Creative
Impeneratrable music to be sure, but not without its rewards. Songs like Shake Dog Shake, Birdmad Girl, Piggy in the Mirror, and the Top are all top-notch Cure songs.
